Mr. Burns once spoke these words. Are they taken from someone else (Shakespeare, etc.)?

It may or may not have been spoken in Moby Dick.

Also, Khan said it in Star Trek II.

"Khan" was 20th century. Moby Dick (written by Herman Melville) would have been available to any intelligent person. Still is! You should all try it. Reading books, I mean. Might stimulate a few brain cells.

Well, Chekov found it on his bookshelf (along with, IIRC, "Paradise Lost," to which he alludes in the episode of ST(TOS) in which he appeared). But he might have read the Cliff's Notes -- he came from an era when that was frequently done by Supermen.
